Hi Kluv114

for me it look's like, you have installed before FW with "signed / protected Bootloaders"

This results when you installed one of the following Samsung original FW with VersNo JM*,KA*...

BUT there is a patch where you can get reed of this blocking.

I've had the same problem and the little download on the page

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10095127&postcount=1

helped me out of this blocking situation

Pls try it, but i recommend you honestly read this topic complete, because it really can brick your device and you have to send it to Samsung Service Center!!!

Good luck,

Maybe you can report back if this problem is solved or not
[Galaxy Tab General] turruso:
same problem here, does the rom needs to be renamed to update.zip?
[Galaxy Tab General] magnum_touchpro:
you guys can certainly try. but when i booted into CWM and choose install from zip it showed my directories and let me choose whichever zip i wanted to.. file name didnt matter.. im not sure why its not showing up for you guys hopefully someone more advanced than me can chime in.
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Well, best thing I can suggest for the SD Card problems is to reformat them, make sure it is fat32, and try again. Also, check the card with a partition manager to make sure there is no funky partitions or anything.

Otherwise, The Overcome v1.2.1 Release will include the Overcome Kernel v1.1 which includes a different CWM that reads from Internal Storage, so those who are having no end of trouble and have no access to a new card or such, may wish to wait for this update, which is not far away.

I will, of course, be updating my guide when alterbridge86 releases the new version.
[Galaxy Tab General] maddy_in65:
I have Indian Tab and bricked it while doing battery icon mod. Now i want to install Custom rom and decided to install overcome Rom. But i am noob when it comes to flashing. I read several instruction but cant figure how to do it. This guide looks somewhat easy but still i have some issues. Please solve my queries so i can proceed with flashing. I have downloaded Overcome rom, odin.

Is it the good ROM for indian tab or if i install this rom, can i face issue any issues.

I have bricked tab, its not booting now, so i cant do EXT4 conversion before installation.

Here is the steps i have figure out for flashing, are they correct.

Copy Overcoome ROM to external SD, switch off and connect to PC through USB and power it on to Download mode (pressing power and Up volume button at the sametime)

Start Odin and proceed the steps as mentioned this thread.

Please correct me or please instruct me further. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] maddy_in65:
Anyone please help with my queries, i am waiting for my tab back.
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
That is correct, although this is detailed in the first steps of the Guide. If your tab is not booting to start with that is fine, just after the Kernel is flashed on and the ext4 conversion is done, reboot straight back into recovery and follow the actual ROM installation steps.
[Galaxy Tab General] maddy_in65:
Buddy thanks for the reply. I will flash it and hope everything will go fine.
[Galaxy Tab General] eccarlos:
Hi,

Is there any way to make works Cifs on this kernel?

Thank you
[Galaxy Tab General] ultimize:
Thank you very much for your clearly guide.
[Galaxy Tab General] maddy_in65:
I need urgent help, I have done Kernel flashing using Odin and it was fine and then copied Overcome 1.2.1 to external SD card.

I have done factory reset and goes fine. I have done swipe cache partition and now it stuck there for about an hour now. Is there any issues with this or do i need something wrong here.

Edit:- Solved this issue and installed ROM. Loved it, now tab is much better responsive than before
[Galaxy Tab General] BoostedSR20:
OK, I got as far as the Odin step. The kernel flashes just fine, but when the tab reboots it never gets to the samsung boot screen. It just sits black with the backlight on. After leaving it like that for awhile, I turned it off and tried to get into recovery. Same thing, it just sits black with the backlight on, won't boot into recovery.

I've redone the flash twice, same results. Also, when I turn it off and plug it in, the battery icon pops up, then the screen freaks out and it goes to the same black/backlight as before. So I'm not even sure the battery is charging either.

I also ran the .apk to check my bootloader, it was fine. Any help? (my tab is useless now)
[Galaxy Tab General] BoostedSR20:
Ok, I downloaded and installed Roto's latest JMI and got it working again, but its still very odd.

Whenever you boot it sounds like its working perfectly fine, but the screen is blank with just the backlight lit. It stays blank until you hit the power button, then it turns off, then you hit power again, and it turns on perfectly fine and works.

I tried getting into recovery and its still doing the same thing, blank screen with backlight on. I have no idea if its in recovery and I just can't see it or if its locked.

Also forgo to mention, whenever the screen is blank with the backlight on, there is white line that goes down the screen on the right from top to bottom. And now, even when its booted up and running the JMI firmware, that line is there the whole time.
[Galaxy Tab General] pwrsrc:
Okay, I'm still having bad random restarts. I made a thread about it but no answers.

It just restarts, often when I'm on 3G trying to use my gps. It will restart, get to my home screen, freeze, restart (x2 or 3 more times) and then it finally works okay.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking of just restoring to stock (T-Mobile US tab) and then reflashing the kernal, converting the fs and installing the rom again. Or is there a way I can simply just format the system into exfs (back up my modem too?) and install overcome full?

[Galaxy Tab General] Irmoviper:
Not able to get into recovery or boot up.

I followed your instructions to a T and was able to install the software using ODIN. The Tab restarted and showed the Samsung Logo, screen went black and then showed a white line on the right side going from top to bottom, back lit the entire time and does not load into recovery or into system. Any help with this issue would be great. As of right now I can only get into download mode...by the way I am using a CDMA version. Not sure if that is why this is happening or not. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
I realize that you did a LOT of work to bring us this tutorial and I thank you for that.

However....we MAC users are kinda left in the dark here.....any chance of a MAC Tut?
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Hey mate, I actually am looking into Heimdall (the cross platform flashing tool for us) as I use Ubuntu as my main OS. I did the Windows one up first as it is the most common OS by far, but yes I will be doing one up for us alternate OS users. I just want to get a bit more familiar with the tool first, as I am sure you can understand.

Also, for those having the Black screen/White line problem, this is a GSM ROM/Kernel, it is NOT designed for CDMA devices. While it is reported to work in a limited fashion, I really cannot recommend doing this for the general user. It is only going to lead to problems.

I have also updated the OP for Overcome 1.2.1 Full Install.
[Galaxy Tab General] km2783:
Is there a reason why this wiped 9GB of music and videos from my external SD card but left everything else on it? The overcome zip and folders that were there are still available, but all my music and movies are gone. It's very strange, I can't begin to figure this one out LOL

But everything does work, and I found out my Tab can run @ -200mV on every clock setting :D

How can I revert back to my stock firmware?

hi

so I followed your excellent guide. everything worked great and i could install overcome 1.2.1. thank you for this great tutorial!

but now i want to revert back to my stock firmware (i do have serious battery issues - so my fully loaded battery only lasts a half day). do i understand it right, that during the conversion from rfs to ext4 a complete backup was made which i can use to restore my stock firmware? what about the ext4 format? do i need to convert it to rfs before i can restore the backup?
[Galaxy Tab General] aleks07:
Got exactly the same thing (including a white line on black screen) on GSM ATT tab. Did anyone resolve this and install Overcome kernel?
[Galaxy Tab General] movshaq:
hi

i tried to restore the "before-ext4" conversion backup. worked not as i assumed. i still have the overcome kernel and also the problem with a fast draining battery. it dropped from 100 to 90 % within 50 min (low usage, no gps, wifi, 10 min surfing the web, brightness about 30%). and i have problems with bluetooth. it does not store any changes and i cannot pair my headset (which i could pair with the stock firmware/kernel). was the original kernel not stored during the backup process?
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
True, .pit file is repartition only. Only need to do it once.

I'd just like to say thanks to all those producing the Overcome rom. this Rom works great.

For those having probs with file sharing sites, most are blocked for business, I've got a copy on my server. Safe reputation so should not be blocked by any business policy

http://bit.ly/GTabRom2 A simple blog page, scroll down to the ROMs list and download (right click on link) simples...

There is a link to directory listing too so u can check file sizes.

If u want any other roms on there just say so.

Any devs want to store Apps or rom related files, drop me a mail and i can sort out some acces for you

Help with updating from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1

"At this point, You have installed the Overcome Kernel with CWM included and converted the Filesystem to EXT4. It has been reported that many stock ROMs will boot and run fine now, however some may not, but it just depends on your ROM etc. This is why I said to have the rom ready on your SD Card before starting.

Finally, onto the ROM itself.

1. Turn your Galaxy Tab off.

2. Turn your Galaxy Tab on into RECOVERY mode (Press Volume UP and Power On at the same time).

3. Select backup and restore (volume keys to navigate, power button to select).

4. Select backup and wait for it to finish. (This is a Nandroid Backup of your ROM, you can choose to restore this to restore your Original rom.)

5. Select Go Back.

6. Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset.

7. Select Yes, and wait for it to finish.

8. Select Wipe Cache Partition.

9. Select Yes, and wait for it to finish.

10. Go To Advanced.

11. Select Wipe Dalvik Cache.

12. Select Yes, and wait for it to finish.

10. Select Go Back.

11. Now, Select install zip from sdcard.

12. Select choose zip from sdcard.

13. Select the ROM zip you put on your SD Card earlier.

14. Select Yes, and wait for it to apply the ROM. (If using Overcome v1.2.1 with included Kernel, the screen will flash during this time. This is normal.)

15. Select Go Back, to return to the Main Menu.

16. Select reboot system now.

That's it! Your system will now boot into Overcome v1.2.1 :D"

I'm updating from Overcome 1.2.0 to1.2.1

I placed the Overcome v1.2.1 Updater zip on ext sd card and flashed it after doing a back up. From reading the Overcom kernal/rom thread, i understood that wipe was unnecessary.

Did I do this update correctly?

Thanks in advace
[Galaxy Tab General] drdax:
As I'm already on Overcome 1.1.3 I just cleared caches and loaded the rom

I thought I could just do an advanced restore from nandroid backup of the data to retrieve all my settings and apps.

but I get a MD5 checksum error and it wont restore!

I can do a full restore but then I lose v1.2!

any ideas

Rom installed and Works fine

Cheers

No 3g connectivity

Hi i have successfully flashed the overcome v1.2.1 ROM and Kernal from the begining of this thread but i dont have any 3G connectivity.

I have 4bars of reception but no 3 or h symbol next to it, i have no wifi to download titanium backup to run that back up either.

HELP?

*EDIT*

Downloaded titanium backup .apk from their website and running a restore now, hopefully i get back whatever settings i was missing.

I noticed after flashing that in the sd card (internal) all the folders were still there?! is that normal? i did all steps required and thought that should have cleared everything off of my phone ...

*EDIT*

Hoorah tb fixed all! great ROM, BRILLIANT guide!

Thank you very much!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] drddx66:
Thank you for the excellent guide.

I have a quick question:

My Tab is a GT-P1000N, which came with Android Recovery 3e. I was able to root it with Super One-Click and Odin.

I have been watching for a custom ROM that might work in spite of having the 3e recovery, so I tried Overcome as described in your tutorial.

Unfortunately, Odin did not give me the green light; I got "FAIL" instead. I unplugged and replugged in download mode and tried to reinstall the P1000NUBJM2 ROM, which is what the device originally had.

That did not run, even though Odin connected with the device. So I unplugged.

Then I got the dreaded yellow triangle with an exclamation point, between an icon for a phone and an icon for a computer.

Now Odin cannot find the device, I cannot get into either download mode or recovery mode with the buttons as before.

Now I'm not really afraid....this happened once before...but I cannot remember how to recover from this particular version of the blue screen of death.

Any suggestions??

Thank you.

Noob trying to prevent disaster

I am really new to both Android and to Flashing etc,

I use my Sprint Galaxy Tab for general surfing and forum reads, Main purpose tha ws to have a highly portable devive for work, to take and keep meeting notes. The usb to SD card needs to work as I use mainly wifi for connections.

I have rooted my Galaxy tab and stopped there as I have seen so many posts about this ROM, That kernal etc, that being over whelmed was mildly put.

Questions:

I get that I need to replace the kernal and change system to ext4. What would be the best and most stable kernal to use? Overcome?

Would the stock rom still be the best bet for stability and maintaining functionality? If that can be improved what is the best ROM for Sprint tablets?

When the device rebooted, there was no Samsung screen, just a line. The device booted into the OS, and the kernel was changed. Great.

However, I can not boot into a recovery. When holding power and up volume, my device just keeps boot looping. I've tried the 1.0 and 2.0 kernels, nothing.

Any help please?
[Galaxy Tab General] azubi:
I flashed my device with this guide successfully. But after installing the 2.0 kernel, it does not boot. I think the partition-layout of modaco-kernel is not compatible to the 2.0 overcome kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] jammysunny:
Hi @azubi,

Which version should I flash ?

Is this right, when I flash first the kernel , and ext4 will be done onto sdcard? cwm will be installed, but I dont have EXT4 -Partition....

which overcome-kernel with which overcome rom is stable?

noob questions: which Kies for T-Mobile?

I'd like to do this, but of course I get stuck on the very first step! I have have a US T-mobile SGH-T849 tab, but when I look at the Kies download page that model's not listed. I tried the vanilla GT-P1000, but Kies never connects. I also tried the XP driver, but still doesn't work.

Is there a Kies package that will work with Tmo? Thanks!

**Update** Fixed that: grabbed XP drivers for SGH-T849 and installed them. Put tab into Kies USB mode. Then got Kies Mini which updated then connected the Tab. Performed backup to make sure all was well. Kies Mini shows "unregistered device", but I'm guessing that's okay. On to Step 2!
[Galaxy Tab General] yoshax:
followed the instructions and when i finished the final reboot my tab has the words GALAXY TAB and SAMSUNG stuck on it. any help?:eek:
[Galaxy Tab General] tabing:
is there any benefit of Overcome v 1.2.1 over roto-jmi rom? will it make tab faster and better life?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] utrx:
Great Guide dude. But I think a little more detail will save people some trouble. Some people might think a step went well without reading what is actually going on on their Tab. If you'd like, you can add these tid bits.

When you boot into recovery, CWM 3.0.0 will scan the current partitions, and will say it has failed cause they are probably HFS.

It will then proceed to backing up /system, /data, /datadata

It will also try to back-up other things.

It will generate an MD5 hash

It will check the MD5 hash

It is possible that it will say MD5 mismatch for no apparent reason

If this happens, then the process did not complete successfully and you shouldn't proceed with the next steps.

Basically, CWM will not convert unless the backup is successful.

This happened to me and I was able to solve it by using another 2GB micro SD card.

When backup is successful, it will proceed to converting

Then, it will restore the backup to /system, /data, etc.....

To make sure everything went well here before you proceed, reboot the tab and go into recovery again (power and volume up), CWM should just check the filesystems without complaining like /system, /data......etc or trying to back up again.

Proceed to flashing Overcome.

I have the same problem. Kernel 1.0 and Rom 1.2.1 works. After flashing the Kernel 2 it stucks on the Samsung boot image. :-(

[Galaxy Tab General] ronyscomparim:
did everything as the status and was restarted and took off okay, but stayed in conifiguração screen and Touch screen not working, can you help me?
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
For those of you still having problems with getting stuck at Samsung Boot Screen after installation of v1.2.3 of the ROM, follow the first part of the guide just to reflash kernel v1.0 on your device. This will at least get you booted. Make sure to use v1.2.3 as this is the Latest Kernel with fixes for the non-booting. If you are still getting stuck please post in the original ROM thread with your issues, but do make sure you are using the latest version first.

Major fixes are in the works both Kernel and ROM wise, but due to the issues at the moment I have elected to leave the guide at v1.2.3 with the 1.0 Kernel at the start for the moment, so there is a way of getting up and running, for those with problems. I will be updating soon however.

@ronyscomparim: It sounds like you have one of the GT-P1000L or GT-P1000N models, which the kernel is unfortunately not compatible with at the moment. I have seen reports of touchscreen not working etc with said devices. I believe Alterbridge86, the ROM developer, is aware of this, but it couldn't hurt to read the ROM thread through and see if there is any fix or anything for this.
[Galaxy Tab General] MoxFulder_CH:
what does JMI mean in rom versions ?

Many thanks to you Corodius for the great guide, and also to Utrx for the extra detail that helped me through an initial block.

Great work guys.

The ROM is very good, but I am still working on some problems with the GPS and Skype. Hopefully I will have it completly sorted soon.

16 March - GPS very good now (10 satelites within seconds), planning to ditch skype. Problem now with backup checksum error. Still love the ROM and kernel.
[Galaxy Tab General] impe90:
Edit : Problem solved.
[Galaxy Tab General] ziggary:
Dear guys,

Can we do this without a external memory card?
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
I have updated the guide for v1.3.0 of the ROM, however I am still using v1.0 of the Kernel for the start of the guide, to avoid backup/restore problems for now.

@ziggary you "can", if you use Kernel v2.0.1 Odin version from the Overcome ROM post instead of v1.0 (the one included in my zip) at the start, however you will be unable to do a Nandroid backup with this version as it is broken atm. If you really cannot get hold of an external SD, my suggestion would be to wait until the new Kernel release. It will not be far off.
